TANGO, Art & Culture

A trip to the heart of Buenos Aires

When we say that this City never sleeps, we mean that once you are here you can be part of a sensory journey where tango, art and culture merge into an unforgettable experience, at any time of the day.

You can't leave Buenos Aires without feeling the tango passion. Attend a tango show at one of the traditional milongas and let yourself be enveloped by the music and dance that have captivated the world. If this is what you are looking for, you have shows of our typical music in Barracas, Puerto Madero or San Telmo.

At the same time, this City is an open air museum that invites you to admire the murals of street artists in Palermo, Almagro and Villa Crespo, explore the art galleries in San Telmo or visit domes on iconic buildings, such as those in Palacio Barolo, Galerías Pacífico or the Congreso Nacional..

Argentina has been a hotbed of outstanding artists, and their works coexist with those of the most prominent exponents of Latin America and Europe in venues such as the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, the Museo de Arte Moderno or the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA).
